Derek™ Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I think I'm happy with my SRC pressing Why settle for 720, though? Trust me, you'll notice the difference. Everything is noticeably sharper. Really pops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Null? Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 someone on twitter said this: "@LYDIAmusic Bought the Illuminate pressing from SRC. There are gaps between every song, like they pressed it from a bad CD RIP." Is this actually the case?? seems like a major fuck up. the songs all lead into each other Whatdidyoulearntonight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantark Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yup. Songs fade out/in. Loses some luster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJL95 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 That's a bummer. I guess it could be worse, but thats one of my favorite things about this album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatdidyoulearntonight? Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yup. Songs fade out/in. Loses some luster. Really? That pisses me off. IMO, that is a major fuck up. I really hope there is another pressing. I would much rather have the album be the way it was intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The worst part is that there's a REALLY noticeable gap between tracks about halfway through. You even have to stand up and walk across the room to make it keep playing. I just wish we could listen to it the way it was intended. copelandkid and futures 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb117 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 the first three tracks on the album may be among my favorite consecutive tracks of all time, and part of that is because of the transitional fading in and out between them. ugh, man.

tokimedo Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 this release has gone to shit (not surprised) and im really really really saddened by it. this record deserves more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcX Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I find that the side A transitions are a lot smoother than on side B. It is pretty noticeable. v_v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmoney Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I can't believe that people still order from SRC or from ETR. It's just amazing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokimedo Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 hey guys, as some of you may know ive been emailing with their management for a while now (i wanted to press this). I emailed him last night and this is what i got back ... "We have done everything in our power to retain the rights to this album. We finally did. The process is taking longer due to us getting the rights to the original masters back. We could technically do the same thing that SRC did and press from a CD but we are not going to stoop to that level for an album that we care about. " so there you have it folks. dont buy the SRC version, they snaked a license to do this, pressed it themselves sourced from cd just to get it out asap to make a quick buck before the band releases.

dawhizz Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Man, I know SRC gets a bunch of shit, but I don't recall them doing anything this ETR-level shady, though admittedly I don't order from them much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcX Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah, while the SRC release is at least tolerable and it's nice to have this album on wax (and the art and that jacket feels nice), I'll most definitely be grabbing Lydia's pressing as well.

Man, I know SRC gets a bunch of shit, but I don't recall them doing anything this ETR-level shady, though admittedly I don't order from them much. What did ETR do that was shady? I only recall the cartel chroma ordeal which sounded like a big misunderstanding that got worked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
